The Chlouvānem lands are a huge territory with three major levels of local administration: the ''diocese'', the ''circuit'', and the ''parish''. | |||
The highest level is the ''diocese'' ('''juṃšañāña'''), comparable to a federate state; their head is a ''bishop'' ('''juṃša'''). Many dioceses in an area with shared economical and cultural characteristics are grouped in an administrative unit called ''tribunal'' ('''camimaivikā'''), which intervenes in common regional economic planning and is as well an important statistic unit.<br/> | |||
Some dioceses consist of two separate administrative units with a single religious head - these are mostly newer developments, where effectively a new "state" has been created for all matters except the most strictly religious ones. Depending on the diocese, these separate units may be called either ''territory'' ('''ṣramāṇa''') or ''province'' ('''loṭikam'''). Sometimes both are used in a single diocese, with a territory being usually larger but less densely populated than a mostly urban province. | |||
The next local level is the ''circuit'' ('''lalka'''), whose denomination changes in some dioceses — including '''hālgāra''' (''district'') and others — without major differences in competences (though it should be noted that competences of circuits or equivalent administrations are not centralized, but defined by the diocese, territory, or province). | |||
The lowest level of local administration is the "municipality" one — whose names are in most dioceses either ''parish'' ('''mānai'''), ''city'' ('''marta'''), or sometimes ''village'' ('''poga'''). The distinction between them is mostly of population, with municipalities above a certain population (in many dioceses 70,000 people) being considered cities. The distinction between villages and parishes is more blurry and varies more between each diocese, with villages usually being independent municipalities whose populations are either very small in size compared to nearby ones, or located in sparsely populated areas.<br/> | |||
Clusters of nearby mid-small parishes often form an entity called ''inter-parish territory'' ('''maimānāyusięe ṣramāṇa'''), sharing between them some basic services like recycling, local transport, or fire protection. | |||
While the lowest independent division is the parish (including cities and villages), a minor area in a parish may be recognized as a ''hamlet'' ('''mūrė''') (note that some diocese use the term for village (''poga'') instead), which for cities is usually a ''borough'' ('''martausięe poga''', literally "urban village"). Note that cities may also have hamlets: boroughs are usually defined as such if many of them form a large contiguous urban area; smaller inhabited places in rural areas administered by a city are still hamlets. | |||
Large uninhabited or extremely sparsely populated areas are often not assigned to any municipality, but are administered by the circuit and defined as an ''extra-parish territory'' ('''řimāṇāyeusie ṣramāṇa'''). | |||
